Lets's calculate LCM of 874,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 429134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/429134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4116/874,3358/491 is 2/429134
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 874,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(874,491) = ( 874 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(874,491) = 429134 / 1
LCM(874,491) = 429134
